Mel Gibson is freaking awesome...
I'm watching The Patriot right now.. Gibson just rescued his son from the dirty British.. Anyways, Gibson is absolutely awesome. I know it's not a great movie by any strech of the imagination.. but the anger and violence in him is breathtaking.
Also watched Apocalypto and The Beaver recently. There's almost always a slow boil at the very least in most of his charactes. It's really a joy to watch. Yeah, it probably underlies the numerous problems the guy has.. but it's awesome on the screen.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic here or not, but I'll bite. The hatchet scene is pretty powerful in that movie and he has always been one of my favorite actors. I'm on record that my favorite movie of all time is Braveheart. Just loved the emotion. He does have a very, very intense side to him. Watching him ride on the horse back and forth trying to piss off his opposition to ultimately force a battle had me wanting to suit up. Same with the Patriot - you could watch a few of his movies and find yourself signing up for some military action.
Obviously he is fucking crazy - but that aside, he really is a fantastic actor.

I liked The Patriot. It is the war movie for all ages with the kinda Hallmark movie emotions. Good cinematography, good acting, ok plot considering the inaccuracies, very good bad guy (Jason Isaac's best film), so it's just kinda fun at the end of the day. Not a movie you take very seriously and just go with it.

Nope..I'm being serious. Intense/angry Mel Gibson in front of or behind the camera is a pretty damn good thing in my opinion.

The scene where is angry at his kids and brother in "Signs" and just starts eating all the food is pretty dang strong. He can convey brokenness as well just about any actor.
*Maybe there is a good reason for that?*

Oksana Grigorieva: Yes?
Mel Gibson: Stay on this phone and don't hang up on me. I have plenty of energy to drive over there. You understand me? AND I WILL! SO JUST F------ LISTEN TO ME. LISTEN TO MY F------ RANTING. LISTEN TO WHAT YOU DO TO ME.
OG: I didn't do anything to you.
MG: A pain in the ass!
OG: You are ruining my life!
MG: You make my life so f------ difficult!
OG: Well you know what, it's so --
MG: Why can't you be a woman who f------ supports me instead of a woman that sucks off me. And just f------ sucks me dry. And wants, and wants. Go through this relationship if you're a good woman and you love me. I don't believe you anymore. I'm sick of your bulls---! Has any relationship ever worked with you? NO!
OG: Listen to me. You don't love me because somebody who loves does not behave this way.
(crosstalk)
MG: Shut the f--- up. I know I'm behaving like this because I know absolutely that you do not love me and you treat me with no consideration.
OG: One second please. Can I please speak?
MG: I love you because I've treated you with every kindness, every consideration. You rejected … you will never be happy. F--- you! Get the f--- away from me! But my daughter is important! All right? Now, you have one more chance. And I mean it. Now f------ go if you want, but I will give you one more chance. (huffing with anger) You make me wanna smoke. You f----- my day up. You care about yourself.
OG: You're so selfish.
MG: When I've been so f------ good to you. You f------ try to destroy me.
OG: I didn't do anything. I did not do anything. This is your selfish imagination. That's bull!
MG: Shut the f--- up! You should just f------ smile and blow me! 'Cause I deserve it.
OG: I'm sleeping with the baby. I'm waking up every two hours. I fell asleep because I was waiting for you because you weren't ready to go to the jacuzzi as we agreed.
MG: Who the f--- cares? We agreed nothing.

Women will do that to you... Seriously, who hasn't been there?
And obviously, dil', I was talking about the intensity and anger in his acting.

Ya Mel Gibson is a little unstable sure, he's not a perfect human being. We don't know what happened behind the scenes with that broad, plenty of guys and girls are driven crazy by their significant other for one reason or another. If we had all of our lives under a microscope I'm sure we wouldn't look at that swell either.
He is a fantastic actor, and actually a fantastic filmmaker as well. A truly special talent in Hollywood, and his opinions and manic behaviour make him who he is, so I'd never want to see him change that.
